8 servings
- 1 cup neutral oil (such as avocado oil or sunflower oil)
- 4 dried ancho chiles, stems and seeds removed, torn into pieces
- 3 dried guajillo chiles, stems and seeds removed, torn into pieces
- 2 dried chiles de árbol, stems removed
- 5 garlic cloves, peeled
- ⅓ cup raw peanuts
- 2 tbsp sesame seeds
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp kosher salt, plus more to taste
- ½ tsp dried oregano
- ½ tsp sugar
Instructions
- 1
Pour the oil into a small saucepan and set over medium-low heat until the oil reaches about 300°F (150°C) — it should shimmer and move easily when the pan is tilted, but not smoke.

Add the garlic cloves to the hot oil and fry, turning occasionally, until golden and lightly blistered on all sides, about 3–4 minutes. Watch closely, as garlic can brown quickly. Remove the garlic with a slotted spoon and set aside.
